On
february
23rd
1926,
after
more
than
400
years
of
oppression
and
destruction
of
the
Konkan
culture
in
Goa,
about
8000
Kunbis
and
Gaudis
of
Goa
converted
back
to
their
tradional
‘Sanarthan
Dharma’
(commonly
called
hinduism
today)
and
changed
christian
names
to
tradionationl
Konkanni
names.
However
the
catholic
portuguese
government
and
the
church
disallowed
this
and
refused
legal
status
to
the
names
chosed by
indigenous people of Konkan Goa
.
